Dumpster Placement
Garbage dumpsters must be placed on a hard level surface. The driver should be able to roll the dumpster in order to latch the container to the truck for tipping. Your driver can help identify a safe location, free of loose gravel, mud or debris for temporary or permanent placement of you container.
Definition of Compacted Dumpsters:
*Material which has been compressed by any mechanical device or external pressure either before or after it is placed in the receptacle handled by the collector. For rate setting, compacted material is also considered to be containers with a large percentage of sheetrock, asphalt roofing, dirt, rock, exceptionally heavy materials, water or wet kitchen waste. A large percentage is defined as 50% or more of the total container volume as determined by driver’s visual inspection. We will not charge extra dumps for overweight containers. We will charge them as compacted. Compacted Rates: 1 Yard Container $72.38, 1 1/2 Yard Container $110.84, 2 Yard Container $140.17.
